“…It is hoped that this will reduce falls at different height steps and provide a way to improve balance and reduce the fear of falling. Furthermore, hoping to provide some help for early diagnosis, quantitative and clinical evaluation, and rehabilitation training of balance ability for patients with pathologic balance dysfunction such as ankle instability ( Shao et al, 2022 ), lower back pain ( Wang et al, 2023 ), and stroke patients ( Liu et al, 2023 ).…”

Objective: The plantar pressure analysis technique was used to explore the static balance ability and stability of healthy adult males under the influence of visual and step height factors during bipedal and unipedal stances.Methods: Thirty healthy adult males volunteered for the study. Experiments used the F-scan plantar pressure analysis insoles to carry out with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) at four different step heights. The plantar pressure data were recorded for 10 s and pre-processed to derive kinematic and dynamic parameters.Results: For unipedal stance, most of kinematic parameters of the subjects’ right and left feet were significantly greater when the eyes were closed compared to the EO condition and increased with step height. The differences in toe load between right and left feet, open and closed eyes were extremely statistically significant (p < 0.001). The differences in midfoot load between the EO and EC conditions were statistically significant (p = 0.024) and extremely statistically significant between the right and left feet (p < 0.001). The difference in rearfoot load between EO and EC conditions was extremely statistically significant (p < 0.001) and statistically significant (p = 0.002) between the right and left feet. For bipedal stance, most of kinematic parameters of the subjects’ EO and EC conditions were statistically significant between the right and left feet and increased with step height. The overall load’s difference between EO and EC states was statistically significant (p = 0.003) for both feet. The overall load’s difference between the right and left feet was extremely statistically significant (p < 0.001) in the EC state. The differences between the right and left feet of the forefoot and rearfoot load with EO and EC suggested that the right foot had a smaller forefoot load, but a larger rearfoot load than the left foot (p < 0.001). The differences between the forefoot and rearfoot load of the subjects’ both feet with EO and EC were extremely statistically significant (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Both visual input and step height factors, even the dominant foot, act on kinematic and dynamic parameters that affect the maintenance of static balance ability.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the parameters of the statics and dynam-ics obtained from baropodometric examinations in patients after infection with the SarsCov2 vi-rus and to attempt to identify the causes of reported gait disorders. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 73 people beform COVId-19. The tested participants obtained a positive result from a PCR test confirm-ing the presence of the virus. Some people had a mild form of COVID-19. The control group consisted of 50 healthy people. The test was carried out on a FreeMed Posture baropodometric mat in static and in dynamic conditions while walking. Results: Statistically significant differences were obtained in the assessment of parameters such as the foot area, the average load on the lower limbs, the maximum load on the lower limbs in the dynamic assessment, as well as differences in parameters for the load on the forefoot and for the rear foot. On the other hand, in the static assessment, significant differences between the groups were found for the parameters of the foot surface , including the area of the hindfoot. Conclusions: In patients with a history of COVID-19, there may be gait disturbances in the baropodometry test that are visible in the load on the lower limbs and the surface of the feet. This may suggest a weaker efficiency of the foot muscles, which are responsible for its arching, and stronger pressure during walking and standing may be associated with a weaker nervous control of the muscles responsible for foot functions.
